シアトルは、そんなに雪が降るような町ではないので、除雪車や塩を撒くトラックがほとんどないので、雪が降るとすぐに市内全体の昨日がストップしてしまう。 実際、この雪で、2日間くらい、バスは止まるは、会社もお休みになるわ、店はしまるわ、というかんじ。 雪は結構好きな方で、雪化粧した町を見るのも好き。ワクワクする。 でも、そんな私も、−10℃が2日間くらい続くと、けっこう厳しいモノがあった。家に居て靴下3枚は居てパンツ2枚はいて、セーター2枚着ても寒かった。絶対にシカゴとかには住めないわ。 アリとキリギリスでは、どちらかというとアリ派な私は、雪の日の前に、大量に食材を買い込んだので、しばらくこのまま引きこもって冬眠できそうです。 1、 雪初日の出勤風景。 2、 同日の帰宅風景。 この日に限り友達の意見に流され違うルートで帰ったら案の定乗り換えバスは雪で走っていなかった。30分くらい−10℃の中立ち尽くし、ルートを変更して走るバスへとりあえず乗った時の風景。 3、 同日、無事に帰還後、家の側はゲレンデと化していた。 Art 'n fArt 'n such. 彼と友人アーティスト達がよく行う展示は、建...

Throughout 1.5 hours of Bikram hot yoga class today, I could not stop myself from thinking about cooking. I was kind of hungry., but, not just that. When I start thinking about food, it would not stop until I complete the process of creating the list of ingredients, and also the image of finished plate. The image of complete dish is pretty vivid and clear. Then, once I have a dish completed in my head, I start thinking about other dishes to accompany it and it becomes a five course dinner.

It maybe a little silly thing to talk. But I had a dream about whales last night. I met two whales by the shore. One is a big old whale, and the other one was a small young whale. The big was was about the size of a small house. I looked up to see her and I couldn't see the sky. I guess she was floating in the air. I asked how old she was and she said almost 80. We were all around the water. They grubbed me in their mouth softly and pulled me down into the deep water a few times. I was not scared.

door-2-door: Japan
http://door-2-door.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan.html
First, I would like to thank you all who's sent me the good wishes and asked me how're my people in Japan. My family and friends in Japan are thankfully safe and sound. There are still after shocks happening almost everyday, and planed black out and nuclear threat, and some of them are getting really tired of always being under such stress, and actually getting sick from it, but there are more people who are suffering from bigger loss. Live it lively, and Not Waste It. With love and a small smile :).

In Japan, we call December "Shiwasu". If I write it with Kanji, it's like this "師走". Shi し(師) means the monk of Budhism. Wasu わす(走) means "running". So, this word means "the monk is running." All people are busy in December in Japan. New year is a celebration, family and relatives get together, go visit temples and shrines. So, even the monks run from place to place in December. This word "Shiwasu" shows the busyness of Japanese life in December. と、英語で師走の説明をしつつ、日本語は関係ない話しよう。 Seattle, WA, United States.

言葉には魂がある、とむかしから伝えられていますが、実にそう思うのです。 そちらの言葉を聞いて、理解して、消化して、こちらからも思想や気持ちを伝える。それが、個人と個人のコミュニケーションであり、お互いを理解するための方法の一つ。 でも、言葉の力はコミュニケーションや表現力だけではないとおもう。言葉で人は笑い、言葉で励まされ、言葉で癒され幸せを感じ、言葉で空気がかわり、言葉で真実を隠し、言葉で傷つけあう。 発せられる言葉達は、相手に届き、心の中に留まって、そこで根を張るのでしょう。その根はやがて育っていって、葉が生え、形のあるものになる。それは、相手の中に生きる自分の分身。 相手の中に生きる分身が、いつしか葉をしげらせて、大きな木になって、そうやって人は人の人生の仲間になっていく。 言葉について考えていたら、ビジュアルデザイナーというコミュニケーションに関わる仕事をしているけど、デザインにも同じことがいえるな、と思った。 写真上: 家路にて。日吉の夕日.

door-2-door: Cave and Water
http://door-2-door.blogspot.com/2013/01/cave-and-water.html
My first American movie was Goonies. It was introduced to me by my grandpa ,and I am still thankful for him to make my first impression of America as such exciting, adventurous, and full of dreams. Now speaking of Goonies, I really wanna go to Cannon beach, and have some beer at Pelican Pub looking at the Goonies rocks. One of the many things I haven't done and been wanting to do: a road trip to Oregon coast. そして、グーニーズ(笑)懐かしいなあ。あの怖い母ちゃんの顔がうちの母が怒った時の顔にそっくりでね。 Seattle, WA, United States.
